I had toyed with the idea of a bowler, and now seeing it in action, I really like the look (plus I could wear it with a suit to good effect, but that's neither here nor there). Sadly, though bowlers litter the vintage/antique/secondhand stores here, I haven't found a single one that fits, and I don't even have a particularly large noggin.

Do wear your Willie on your shoulder (HEY! it's the bird's name! What were you thinking?).

He did mention something about dry cleaning costs. . .

Again, he was holding the bouquet while his new bride was doing something, so could we please restrict our comments to the bowler hat/kilt combination, please.

I think the bowler looks good. As others have said, it may not work for everyone but he's got it going on!

But about holding those flowers. It start innocent enough, holding flowers for your new bride. Then it's holding her purse while she shops and before you know it you're going to the store alone to pick up feminine products.

STOP THE INSANITY NOW!!!!! JUST SAY NO!!!!

I think perhaps it was the belt....hmmm

Really, I know the shirts and jerkens can get expensive, but it seems like an odd place to skimp, unless I'm not seasoned enough to recognize a kilt yet...

Looks like a badly pleated wee kilt to me.

Looks more like a flannel kilt you can get at the Ren fairs.

both places at the local fair had relativly nice kilts. Overpriced, but...

The place I got mine says they are a 75% wool blend (not sure I believe it but hey..) and the other place that was cheaper claimed they were PV. The two places had about a $30 difference in price.
